A Good Man Is Hard To Find

Words & Music by Eddie Green
Recorded by Brenda Lee, 1967

E7 Cdim E7
A good man is hard to find,
Bm7-5 A7 Cdim A7
You always get the other kind.
A7/6 D9 Am7 D9 Am7 D7
Just when you think he is your pal,
G Am7 D9 Am7 G Edim D7
You look for him and find him fooling 'round some other gal
E7 Cdim E7
Then you rave, you even crave,
Bm7-5 A7 Cdim A7
To see him laying in his grave.
D7 G D Am7 G Cdim E7
So if your man is nice, take my ad - vice --
G Am7 G B7
Hug him in the morning, kiss him every night,
E7 Bm7-5 Cdim E7
Give him plenty loving, treat him right
A A6 Am7 Cdim D9 Am7 D7 Edim G
Cause a good man now - a - days is hard to find.
